2002 BMW M3 E46 Coupe

An involving performance hero with an acclaimed powertrain, finished in a lesser-seen colour combination. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre ‘S54’ straight-six, delivering 338bhp / 252kW to the rear wheels through a six-speed ‘SMG’ transmission with paddle shift. This two-owner M3 is fitted with a set of CSL-style alloy wheels, wrapped in new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. This attractive M3 is finished in Topaz Blue metallic over a Cinnamon leather-trimmed cabin featuring satin silver inlays. It rides on a set of 19-inch ‘Style 163M’ alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. The specification also includes reversing sensors, electrically adjustable seats with three-position driver’s memory, automatic xenon headlights, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, climate control, a switchable Sport mode, and a central infotainment screen with satellite navigation and a CD autochanger. Accompanying the car is the service book and two keys. The paintwork is reported to be in good condition, with stone chips on the front end and a small scratch on the rear driver-side wheel arch. Moving inside, save for creasing on the front seats, marks on the transmission tunnel and wear on the driver’s door card and gear selector, the cabin presents well. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. There is a valid NSW registration in place, which expires on 16 July 2023. The car was last serviced around 5,000 kilometres ago by BMW Canberra, who replaced the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs. The seller reports that the car has always been serviced by BMW Canberra. The E46-generation BMW M3 is a superbly accomplished driver’s car and remains the marque’s most successful M-car to date with over 80,000 units produced. This well-presented example is finished in a handsome and very rare colour combination and would make for a rapid and wonderfully engaging daily driver or weekend plaything for any BMW enthusiast.
